Butterflies- Learn something new today!

Today is National Learn About Butterflies Day! I love this. I had no idea and I work in a museum that has a butterfly pavilion ;) I'll have to check to make sure we are doing something fun today.I decided to celebrate by making this card:

I also decided to share some facts about butterflies, so we can all learn something! I found these facts on this site (The Butterfly Site).

·Butterflies range in size from a tiny 1/8 inch to a huge almost 12
inches.

·Butterflies can see red, green, and yellow.

·Some people say that when the black bands on the Woolybear caterpillar
are wide, a cold winter is coming.

·The top butterfly flight speed is 12 miles per hour. Some moths can fly
25 miles per hour!

·Monarch butterflies journey from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico,
a distance of about 2,000 miles, and return to the north again in the spring.

·Butterflies cannot fly if their body temperature is less than 86
degrees.

·Representations of butterflies are seen in Egyptian frescoes at Thebes,
which are 3,500 years old.

·Antarctica is the only continent on which no Lepidoptera have been
found.

·There are about 24,000 species of butterflies. The moths are even more
numerous: about 140,000 species of them were counted all over the world.
